ReaderBank is an ambitious attempt to create the world's largest study of reading, imagination, and mental health. A collaboration between our Festival and researchers from Durham University, ReaderBank returns with new insights about what happens when we read. Join lead researcher Ben Alderson-Day for a workshop focused on the findings so far, what they tell us about the science of the imagination, and how reading unlocks new frontiers for mental health, psychological therapy, and neurodiversity.
Supported by the Institute for Medical Humanities at Durham University.
